I have been in a relationship with another woman for 2 years and i got her name tattooed across my back now our relationship is going downhill and we probably wont be together much longer. Do I wear the tattoo for my good memories or cover it in shame of my tragedies?

I had my ex boyfriends name on my back and when we broke up I decided to keep it.
I have been married now (to someone else) for 8 years and finally just had it covered up this summer.
It is actually hard to go through with a cover up. I loved my ex with all my heart and even though I love my Husband more then anything it was really difficult to truly let go of my past.
I knew that I had to though.. it was not fair to my Husband.
I know that a lot of people are telling you to have it covered BUT do it when you are ready. It is truly letting go of the relationship and moving on.

Unless the name you have tattooed is of a love one, a dear friend, your child, or your own name, it is a bad idea to have it done. The reason being the situation you are in now. Wearing the tattoo for good memories may seem fine now, but someday another woman will be in your life, and another womans name on your body just isn't going to be the best thing. I really suggest that you have it covered up, not because of the shame of your tragedies, but because it was a bad idea in the first place.

I could now not. Reason for those who get a divorce your caught with this men title for your frame for the relaxation of your existence. Most humans positioned there kid's title on there frame now not there accomplice. If you desire a tattoo make certain that you just get anything you quite like don't settle, positioned it in a position that for those who must put on a proper get dressed this tattoo isn't killing the entire get dressed. Have it performed via a official who you may have noticeable his paintings. Give this a few concept as you cannot take it again after it's performed.

General rule: No names unless related by blood or deceased. I also made this mistake in my youth (because we always know more than everyone else when we are young :P)and had a small cover-up done. Unfortunately the name is still somewhat visible under the cover so now I have an artist creating a cover that will completely encompass the entire tat. Find a good artist that specializes in cover-ups and they will create something new for you to enjoy.

I dont think you should cover it up - if it reminds you of happy times then you should keep it. Just because you've still got the tattoo doesnt mean youre not over her and if future girlfriends cant understand that then theyre not worth it. Even though if you could go back now you probably wouldnt do it again doesnt mean you have to be ashamed of it. You should be proud that you learnt from your mistakes.

It's not "wrong" to get a person's name tattoo'ed on your body. It's just not a real good idea if the person is a love interest and not a family member like your child, or someone deceased you are trying to remember/honor.
Tattoo removal is possible, but I've heard it's costly and can be painful. Don't know from experience 'tho.
Putting something permanent on your body requires some careful thought. My dad is a tattoo artist and he's put some pretty DUMB things on people (their choice, obviously, not his)....really dumb!

My boyfriend and I did that once (lol good times)
I covered mine up, just because it was on my hip and I knew that new boyfriends wouldn't want to see it. You have to take into consideration new relationships and the problems it can cause. Is it really worth it?
We ended our relationship with no hard feelings, and he was okay with me covering mine up. It is still there underneath, and although it's not visible to anyone else, I know it is there, and I can keep THAT for the good memories.

It's really up to you. Do you want to keep it? Do you like it? Tattoos tell our stories and you should never be ashamed that you loved someone enough to write their name on your skin. Remeber though, other girls may not be into it. You could always get a new tattoo over it if, in time, yuo feel you are ready to move on.

i would be proud of my tattoo if i was in a situation like that because when you are in a relationship you have feelings for the other person and yes it would keep all the good memories that you had if something happened i wouldnt be ashamed

For the sake of your future Girlfriends. If you were with a girl and While you 2 were going at it you had to see a name on her navel or breast or where ever she put "his name" would it bother you.
At first it might not but in the long run think about it. say its on her shoulder and you are like Snoop dog and like it doggy style and You have to see Bob or Jimmy's name........mood killer......hahahaha! Hope things work out with your gf!
